Saw the jamis at sportchek for 799.
Friend are recommending me check out cannondale.

My budget is under 1000.

Also is it a good time to buy a bike now or wait?
I almost bought a Cannondale bike that was about $800 at Westwood Cycle. I ended up going with a higher end Cannondale model because the $800 bike had mechanical disc brakes versus the hydraulic brakes the bike I ended up buying has. It rode well, and I did like it. You should just test ride a bunch of bikes and just get the one that suits you. The staff at Westwood were really helpful - excellent service.
